Aggrieved PDP, APGA Members Form A New Party

The disagreement within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, came to a head yesterday as some members of the party teamed up with others in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and other parties to form a new party.
The group, which held its maiden meeting in Abuja yesterday, unanimously adopted Chief Perry Opara as the protem chairman of the proposed party, named Peoples Mega Party, PMP.

Chief Opara was an aide to former political adviser to Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, who recently filed a suit against the PDP and the then acting national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, and secured a judgement ordering Secondus to vacate office as acting chairman on ground that his acting role had elapsed.

Addressing the meeting, Opara said the leadership crisis within the PDP which had impacted negatively on its chances, had necessitated the need for the Peoples Mega Party, PMP.
He explained: “The major people who are in the party are former members of the PDP who are disenchanted by the high level of corruption, high level of impunity and high-handedness in the PDP.

‘’They have decided to form something very new and they are of the opinion that they should hand over the party to younger elements who are less corrupt and who can fight for the interest of the people.
“It does not mean that it is only people from the PDP, we have APGA chairmen from many states of Nigeria identifying with the new party, people from Labour Party, LP, and the Accord Party, AP.

‘’There are also disenchanted people from the APC that feel that they want a new place and that is what it is. Today marks the birth of this new party.”

The proposed party adopted the picture of a human being as its logo, while its slogan is: “Forward Nigeria.”

Chief Opara said the new organization would take the next step to approach the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for registration, adding that when registered, the party would focus more of its attention on recruiting the youths who constitute about 54% of the country’s population into it’s fold.

Senate Leader Ndume Says Elites Are Out To Sabotage Buhari's Govt

Ali Ndume, the Nigerian Senate Leader has disclosed that elites are the ones sabotaging the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.Speaking with Daily Trust newsmen yesterday, Ndume said the angry elites were militating against President Buhari’s moves to turn around the country’s economy from the mess left by previous administrations. He said there was a deliberate attempt by elites angry with Buhari’s war against corruption, to set the masses against this administration.

The Senate leader blamed the elites for the hardship Nigerians are facing especially the rising prices of food stuffs.
“If not for the saboteurs, Nigerians would have been reaping the dividend of electing President Buhari.  Otherwise, what has the fall of naira to do with the price of millet, tomatoes and other locally produced commodities? It is understandable that the price of imported rice is affected,” he said.
Ndume called on Nigerians to be patient, saying the APC government was trying hard to improve the living conditions of the people and turn things around for good.

Two weeks ago, Chief John Oyegun, the national chairman of the APC said some people had been compromised and were sabotaging Buhari’s government.
It appears this administration has a powerful group of saboteurs to contend with. These saboteurs are everywhere, in oil, power and education sectors.

These group of people have been blamed for most of the things going wrong in the society, most especially the 2016 budget saga. As a result, Buhari reportedly  ordered the complete purgeof the Budget Office following the discrepancies, errors and padding of the budget.
